Investigation into fatal crash continues


(Vatican Radio) Accident investigators say the Asiana Airline plane which crash landed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday was traveling too slowly.

Two 16 year-old Chinese schoolgirls died and over 180 people were injured when the Boeing 777 hit the runway and its tail broke off. At least 70 Chinese students and teachers were on the plane heading to summer camps.

San Francisco mayor Edwin Lee said he was deeply saddened by the fatalities, even as he praised the life-saving prowess of first responders.

The plane's two black boxes have been analyzed at a laboratory in Washington, DC.
